Alright, so you might be thinking, "Of course I know how to buy a REQ pack, it's easy!" It's actually not that simple. From what I've been seeing on bnet is that many people don't know how the system works! Too many times have I seen people say that they can't get any good things out of gold packs when they're early on in the game. [b]You must start with bronze packs, and work your way up to gold.[/b] Here is what the individual packs will give you: [b]Bronze[/b] (1,250 points): 1 permanent unlock from [u]Common--> Uncommon[/u] REQs (not guaranteed) [b]Silver[/b] (5,000 points): 2 permanent unlocks from [u]Common--> Rare[/u] REQs [b]Gold[/b] (10,000 points): 2 permanent unlocks from [u]Uncommon--> Legendary[/u] REQs Rarity levels are Common-->Uncommon-->Rare-->Ultra Rare-->Legendary Do you see how large of a pool gold packs pick REQs from? This is why you would get things like uncommon ARs or a Tundra Warthog from a gold pack. It really is a HUGE waste of time and effort to only go for the gold when you could be quickly knocking these things out with a bronze pack, which you'll usually be able to purchase after one game of Warzone/Warzone Assault. With this information, here's one of the most effective ways I've found to use your REQ points when you're going for ultra rare/legendary REQs: 1. Buy bronze packs until you unlock all of the common and uncommon REQs (Loadout, power weapons, vehicles, armor). 2. Move up to silver packs to knock out any uncommon REQs you may have missed, and all of the rare REQs. 3. At this point, you're [i]golden[/i]. Keep buying gold packs until you've gotten 100% in everything and have at least 50 Nornfangs. Hopefully I've covered everything, feel free to add to the post/make suggestions if you like. Note that you don't have to exactly follow that method. That's just the one I've been using which has worked out well for me for a while now. TL;DR - Don't waste all of your REQ points on gold packs right away. Work your way up from bronze, to silver, and finally up to gold so you would have a higher chance of receiving good items.
